Jean Thompson, author of the National Book Award finalist Who Do You Love, is a writer at the height of her powers. In The Witch and Other Tales Retold she revisits beloved fables that represent our deepest, most primeval fears and satisfy our longings for good to triumph over evil (preferably in the most gruesome way possible). From the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood to the beauty asleep in her castle, The Witch and Other Tales Retold triumphantly brings the fairy tale into the modern age.
